Doesn’t sound right for a boy in my opinion. It’s the Bella part that is associated with the female form of beautiful and I speak 5 languages. So yeah, sounds better for a girl. Feel bad for the guy who has it as a first name.

Took a beautiful French phrase and absolutely butchered it. Awful name.

I actually like it. I think it's a great name if you like the sound of 'Bella', but think Isabella and Annabella are too popular. I would use it as a first name for a girl, or a gender neutral middle name.

It sounds nice as a last name but not as a first name.

I think it's a good name, and it doesn't have a specific gender attached to it.

It's pronounced Bella me not Bella Amy.

You couldn't choose between Bella or Amy, huh?

It's not THAT bad, but I don't like the fact that it looks like the squished form of Bella and Amy.

I think it’s beautiful and feminine. Wonderful meaning too.

The phrase "bel ami" was grammatically masculine in Old French - as far as I can tell from a quick lookup, the feminine version would have been "bele amie." So - though I'm not a stickler for strict gender in names - there's more precedent to use this for a boy's name than a girl's.

Please please please don’t do this to a poor little girl! I would absolutely hate being stuck with this name!

A pretty unique name that isn't too out there. Cute meaning too.

Sounds kind of unattractive and dated.
